That was a very kind spanking to give Democrats. You know they need a good thrashing, but you have bent them over your knee and are hitting their back side with a piece of foam rubber. Your defunding the Police rant is really a soft ball. The Democrats viciously attacked Law Enforcement
We may not be talking about the same "Democrats". My references to the Democrats are limited to those active in politics as registered members of the Democratic Party. This would explain why I have not seen, nor heard of Democrats viciously attacking law enforcement.
Your refences to "Democrats" might include all the fringe people compelled to flip birds at law enforcement that you assume are either Democrats or pampered by Democrats. I don't make assumptions about mobs.

My analysis of history is based on what is already written. So, who's the fool for thinking it's a re-write?

I guess your missing the point then. BTW, why do you capitalize all your nouns?

Government spending is one mechanism that pumps too many dollars into the economy.
That depends on how the money being spent is acquired. The correct way to do it (according to the U.S. Constitution) is for Congress to levy a tax to pay for the spending. This presents a zero sum game where money is being pumped around the economy but nothing is being added.
The other way is for the administration to borrow the money. Traditionally, this kind of spending is more associated with wartime emergency investments like war bonds, but in recent decades it has been a preferences, especially among Republican leaders, for spending cash without raising taxes, which means they don't even need congressional approval. Of course the downside is debt and where there is debt, money is being created.
The government has NEVER had the power to just "print" money out of thin air... That is another common misunderstanding. The Federal Reserve has that power, not the government. If the government wants to spend money it can either add to our taxes or add to our debt. Those are the choices...
The Federal Reserve on the other hand, CAN make money out of thin air so they can ALWAYS buy as many treasury bonds as the economy can withstand. This is where people often get confused. Yes, government spending can pump too much money into the economy IF that money is being borrowed from a fractional reserve banking system.
But getting back to your point... As far as I know, the spending proposed in the bill is funded through taxes. I haven't read the whole thing but if that's true, it pretty much invalidates your point.

I disagree... I think investments in green energy are worthwhile.

When Joe the Idiot Biden restricts Energy Supplies, he adds to the cost of everything.
You people are STILL pushing that turd? Yes, limiting energy supplies can raise the cost of every operation along the supply chain, we all understand the basic idea. But all you have to do is look at the records to see that under Biden our energy supply has reached record breaking highs. We produce more oil now than we ever did under Trump. So your accusation that Biden is restricting energy supplies is utterly absurd.

Pushing Green energy spending while punishing other energy suppliers is inflationary GOVERNMENT POLICY.
I think what we have here is a chip on your shoulder. Your last statement is ridiculous - a testament to your overriding emotions. You hate Green Energy so much, you're just kicking and spitting.
BTW, energy supply is a global market - you might want to give that some thought before ranting about the control that one government has over it. ;)
